Thank you for sharing your informative video on greasing the bobcat e10 . How about a video on how to manage the tracks in case they come off.Interested in watching how that is done.
You forgot a grease fitting! I’m working on my newly purchased beater E10 and had the lower sheet metal off. I think i noticed a grease fitting also at the rear of the boom swing cylinder on the lower right side of the machine. Below the radiator. It’s no biggie i suppose. That cylinder doesn’t swing too much on that pin.
According to the mechanic I bought my E10 off of the boom cylinder should be retracted too. On my E10, if the boom cylinder is not retracted, the gauge shows quarter full; when it’s retracted, it shows 3/4. If I went by the first reading and added fluid, I run the risk of having it shoot out the filter and having a mess to deal with. I trust the mechanic more than the manual. The manual misses a lot… like the grease zero under the house. 😉
Hi my friend hope you’re doing well with the Volvo excavator . I have one question for you on a grease point for the E 10 . It’s located on the side of the excavator there’s a little white box showing the position on how to aim the grease gun. Would you know what that grease fittings for . It doesn’t show it in the manual
I don’t see that on mine. Is it on the stick, boom, house or carriage? Right or left side? Are you referring to the track tightening zerk hidden under the removable cover? I’m curious now! 🤔
Good video. Is there one more grease zerk, at the end of the boom swing cylinder, inside the machine? Or is that one of the two "longer service", 50 hr zerks grouped together?
There is only the one on the front of the cylinder rod where it articulates with the boom yoke. The back end of that cylinder is buried deep in the house. I don’t think it even pivots much if at all. Hope that helps and thanks for your comment.
@@tonydigristina5631 I can’t believe I never noticed or greased that!!! I looked under the house and see it’s to grease the pivot pin of the boom swing cylinder. I guess after 500 hours it’s probably ready for some grease 😩
